Still in the long green season of Kingdomtide as we cycle through the liturgical year, the green of the Jerusalem Cross Garden reflects the liturgical "go" of this time.
Called to be in the world but not of the world Christ invites us first of all to respond to Him and through His love and grace to be changed an
d to commit to 
walking daily with Him through the everyday situations of life. Then as renewed people, forgiven and set free, on the journey towards Christian perfection, we are challenged to "go." "Go make of all disciples" or "Go into all the world" and in the "going" to find the color of Christian purpose and challenge. For it is in the going that the promise of the harvest - hearts warmed, lives changed, spirits refreshed
, color returned - is realized.We see it in the green garden. Orange/red nasturtiums, blue/gray cabbage, golden wheat, yellow marigolds. Truly Kingdomtide as a season is becoming a green light into a colorful life of mission and service and renewal.
